“…Vascular access cannulation through the use of peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) is a common practice and is considered the most common invasive procedure performed on hospitalized patients [1]. This technique allows quick access to the vascular system, being less invasive and less complex than other techniques [1][2][3]. The type of catheter is chosen based on the estimated duration and type of treatment to be infused, and among the uses of PVCs are fluid therapy, parenteral nutrition, blood products, and diagnostic tests [4].…”

Um estudo realizado em Portugal, no qual identificaram desvios relativos às evidências científicas no que diz respeito à prevenção de flebite (6) , verificou que a prática de higienização das mãos nem sempre foi realizada em todos os momentos indicados, sendo essa falha influenciada pela ausência de pias nos quartos. Esses dados mostram que apesar da lavagem das mãos ser um cuidado crucial na prevenção de complicações relacionadas ao procedimento de punção venosa periférica, ainda existe um desempenho inadequado entre os profissionais de enfermagem.…”
